Okay, now we're asking better questions. However, there are some things I don't think you're taking into account: at the point at which the child has been born, it's now a person on its own, and thus the responsibility of its parents. Also, by the time it has been born... well, one would suggest that the woman has waived her right to abort (I'm aware this is a bigger contextual issue than I'm making it, but I don't want to be here all day), and so yes, I would say at that point there is something of a responsibility on the father's side to take care of the life he's produced, being that it now is a life. At that point the consideration has changed from just being about two parties, to being about three.
You might be tempted to say this is unfair, that the woman gets this much choice over these things, but consider how much more buy in the woman has to have in the process to begin with, before you do.
